December ACT 2008 Science

<p>Ummm.. 800s in both SAT II Physics and Biology and a 5 in AP Biology wasn't enough to make this "easy" for me.</p>

<p>Yeah it wasn't very easy or "common sense"; but, background information made it much quicker. I almost had time to check every question.</p>

<p>I don't think you guys are getting the point that there is no science knowledge required to actually do good on ACT science.</p>

<p>Hey, Hipster, so how hard was the AP bio exam? -- I am taking the class now, and it seems simple enough, although we still have a long way to go...</p>

<p>The the last passage about projectiles wat was the difference between the last graph and second to last graph? Was it just one had air resistence and the other didn't?</p>

<p>Unless by "good" you mean 26-30, I think you are wrong, Petlee.</p>

<p>^ No kidding. Of course it's not required to know "anything" about science, but there's no way you'll get 30+ if you don't at least know some.</p>

<p>Plus so what if it didn't "require" science knowledge. It's undeniable that it helps. Like the isotope section about Ra I think it was, I finished in like 2 minutes because it related to what we've been doing in AP chem.</p>

<p>30 is good</p>

<p>^ I agree. Having some science knowledge may allow someone to breeze through a question, giving them more time on more difficult questions which results in that 31-36 range</p>

<p>I overstudied for it (read the entire Campbell book), so when I took it it was amazingly easy. My friend who barely even payed attention in class read part of the book on plants and got a 5 too. Basicly its one of the easier AP exams, and if you think you did well in this science section well, your pretty well off.</p>

<p>I took the ACT the first time and got a 34 on science, and got 35s on the practice exams, but this one was way harder than any of those.</p>

<p>lol, I thought something was odd (difficulty wise) about the science section. I thought I was moving at a really nice pace (pretty much disregarded passages and looked at questions and graphs first) until the proctor called "5-minutes," and I was literally scrambling to read through and bubble in the last section. I can only imagine how short-on-time someone who attempted to scrutinize every detail was.</p>

<p>This was my first ACT, so I figured the challenge was usual. Hopefully the curve is generous. :)</p>

<p>Was all the information there? Sure.</p>

<p>Common sense? Hardly.</p>

<p>It was just too much info to comprehend and analyze in 35 min.</p>

<p>It's just graphs and tables!!!</p>

<p>Anyone remember the quesiton about Fenway park was it 100, 110, and 120 cause 100 seemed right on the edge.</p>

<p>^ If it was as easy as graphs and tables I would've 36'd it with no problem. It was so much more than that dude.</p>

<p>We are all informed that you did well on the science section petlee1. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I put 100, 110, and 120</p>
